She's One

She claps her hands when I start singing patty-cake and puts her fingers together when I sing The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

She started being able to follow directions. When I tell her to get a book she'll walk over to the bookshelf and pick one out. For a while she would only choose the Pride and Prejudice counting book. She held it up for me to read it to her again and again and again. Then I hid it from her. I'm such a good mom.

I also taught her to get my nursing cover for me when she's hungry. Very handy.

Her words have just exploded. She can say dog, cat, cheese, mama, dad, Teddy, up, all done, ball, please, pretty, brrr, and probably more that I can't remember.

She's learning where her body parts are. Sometimes she'll point to her nose, eye or belly when I ask her.

What a darling video. So great you are blogging all of her developments, just think of the great family record you are making. It will be so fun to look at all of this when she is in high school and beyond!
